AW: AW: [Etherboot-developers] Splashimage / Bootlogo

[devzero <de...@we...>]

Ken,
shure, i didn`t expect that YOU would do so.
But for me, it will be VERY difficult to do because I have not
very good experience in programming - so why not ask for that
feature, make people "think" about and perhaps find someone
with better skills who says: mhh, bootlogo? wait a minute....
:)
regards
Roland

PS:
gonna search for some demoscene-guys, they will go laughing and make
an mindblowing 3d boot-menu for us...... ;)

You really should give ftp://ftp.jp.scene.org/pub/demos/demos/1997/s/snc_omni.zip
a try. (The first level of well known game "descent" - squeezed into 4 KILOBYTES :)))

I should also add that I don't intend to develop this version of the
external menu program very far. I will just make it resemble the
internal menuing as far as possible and then any improvements are up to
you hackers. My goal here is to remove crud from Etherboot.

The external program chaining mechanism is general and has been in
Etherboot for over a year.  It's documented in the developers guide and
there are comments in the sample program.  So you could start from
scratch and create any fancy program you like. Lots of possibilities,
use the mouse for input, animation, fractals, etc. etc.
